MOLYKOTE, born in 1948 from the breakthrough research of American scientist Alfred Sonntag and now under Dow Corning (a global chemical giant), derives its name from its pioneering molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) lubrication technology. Today, it stands as a benchmark in specialty lubrication.
The brand’s core mission—"solving severe lubrication challenges"—spans grease, anti-friction coatings, and plastics-specific lubricants, serving precision industries like automotive manufacturing, aerospace, and semiconductor equipment.
In China, MOLYKOTE delivers globally synchronized solutions through authorized distributors (e.g., Shanghai Chaorun, Lianhang Electromechanical), ensuring industrial users access authentic, cutting-edge products.
Extreme Temperature Adaptability (-30°C to 650°C)
A mineral oil base fortified with metal powders (copper/graphite) forms a stable protective film at high temperatures while maintaining pliability in deep cold. This outperforms conventional greases (typically rated ≤300°C).
Constant Friction Coefficient: Guardian of Preload Force
Erichsen tester data confirms a stable friction coefficient (μ) of 0.08 at bolt heads and 0.13 on threads. Even after 10+ disassembly cycles, torque/tension linearity persists, eliminating loosening or over-tightening risks.
Non-Destructive Disassembly: Ultimate Assurance Post High-Temperature Service
Withstands 4,800N weld load (DIN 51350 four-ball test) and 20,000N OK value (Almen Wieland test). The paste remains peelable after carbonization, solving the industry pain point of sintered lubricant seizure.
Heavy Metal-Free Formula: Safety Meets Performance
Eliminates toxic lead/nickel. Corrosion inhibitors + static water resistance (Grade 1 per DIN 51807) combat acid/salt spray, extending equipment life.
Adhesive Structure Design: Key to Long-Term Sealing
A dense paste (1.26 g/cm³) fills thread gaps, forming a physical barrier against leakage—ideal for high-pressure reactors, centrifuge tension rings, and chemical equipment.
Automotive Manufacturing
Cylinder head bolts endure 650°C exhaust environments; MOLYKOTE 1000 ensures consistent torque through 500,000 km of disassembly cycles
Chemical Equipment
Blocks corrosive plastic melt erosion on injection molding machine nozzle screws, reducing maintenance downtime by 30%
Energy Infrastructure
Protects bolted joints in thermal power kilns and offshore wind flanges against salt spray + heat, enabling 5+ years of maintenance-free operation
Semiconductor Manufacturing
Non-bleeding formula prevents contamination of sensitive components in ultra-clean environments
User data reveals triple transformation:
Cost Reduction: 15% lower annual maintenance spend in chemical plants via reduced bolt replacements
Safety Enhancement: Eliminates hazardous cutting during high-temperature disassembly.
Efficiency Boost: 3–5% energy savings in heavy machinery from minimized friction losses
MOLYKOTE Labs is pioneering nano-solid lubricants for the 1000 series, targeting 1,100°C tolerance (e.g., aerospace engine bolts). Concurrently, biodegradable formulations align with the EU Green Deal’s sustainability mandates.
"MOLYKOTE 1000 transcends product status—it embodies an engineering philosophy for extremes. Balancing 'preload vs. disassembly' and 'heat vs. corrosion' through materials science, this unassuming brown paste delivers resilient strength. With eight decades of expertise, MOLYKOTE empowers every bolt to remain steadfast amid fire and ice."
